Yoretales: History for Sleep
Bedtime stories for adults
Free · In‑App Purchases
Welcome to Yoretales, where the stories of history are told slowly for sleep. Choose a story, set the timer and let a calm voice carry you somewhere new tonight.
Yoretales is bedtime listening drawn from history, mythology, science and classic tales. Choose a story, set the sleep timer and let a calm, unhurried voice carry you from the courts of ancient Egypt to the decks of the Titanic until you drift off.
STORIES MADE FOR SLEEP
• Long, unhurried stories, most of them over an hour, so there is always time to fall asleep
